Никто не хотел умирать [Nikto nechatel umirat'] [English translation]

Sealed by anger and hardened concrete,

The milky twilight kept silent in my sleeve

A muscle contracted, veins got weak

They pressed a button and brains got soft

As for those who have never seen

Cover their eyes with an apathetic hand--

Because nobody wanted to die

Nobody made any choice

Nobody had any choice

The perverse smell of dried up fish

A frosty clump of poverty

As a shard of thoughts hid within its knees,

Apathetic wind filled up the basement

As for those who have never believed

Allow them to bang on the gates from within--

Because nobody wanted to die

Nobody made any choice

Nobody had any choice

The house has been empty for months and months

For months condemnation has rained down

Without any divinations nor judgements

Emotions are flowing into the crotch of fate

As for those who have never lived

Gift them with the freedom to sit at a table--

Because nobody wanted to die

Nobody made any choice

Nobody had any choice
